The Proper Operation of the CV Axle, CV Joint & Driveshaft

You vehicle relies on many systems and parts to provide the reliable performance you expect. These include the constant velocity axle (CV axle), constant velocity joint (CV joint), and driveshaft. Below is an explanation of the roles these parts play when operating properly and signs that repairs are required.

CV Axle: A constant velocity axle is a component in an automobile that transfers power from the transmission to the wheels while allowing for movement and flexibility. It is essential for vehicles with independent suspension systems.

CV Joint: A constant velocity joint is part of the CV axle. This joint helps maintain power delivery while accommodating wheel movement during turns and suspension travel.

Driveshaft: A driveshaft transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It connects the transmission to the differential, allowing for the transfer of torque necessary for vehicle movement. Driveshafts can be found in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles, and they can be either single-piece or multi-piece, depending on the design and length required. They are typically made of steel or aluminum to withstand high rotational forces and are balanced to reduce vibrations during operation.

• Clicking or popping noises when turning
• Vibration during acceleration
